    • When I want to Ctrl+f a document, I always need to do Ctrl+f and then click on the search window with the mouse, would be easier when I could Ctrl+f and then immediately start typing (like in all other applications)
    • Same thing happens when I change font size, when typing. I am always thrown out of the current window and have to open an other one.

  6. I use iPad 8th generation and the screen is small. So, when I use split screen with half side covering my book and other half with GoodNotes, the panel with colors and fonts disappear. So, I have to click on it again and again to change the colour.
    It would be very helpful if there is a flying toggle with my colour options that I can shift here and there on my screen according to my convenience.
    Also it will save me time of going to the top bar every time I need to change colours. It would also be…

  8. I wish the highlighters appeared more vibrant and neon on white paper. When I select a really neon highlighter, I usually have to double the highlight to get the desired brightness.

  9. It would be great to have the option to autodeselect the highlighter and lasso tool like it is with the eraser. Would make note taking a lot faster!

  10. You should add a feature that enables people to add a definition to words they highlight. When reading over your notes, you can then tap on that highlighted word and the definition will pop up.

  11. ability to add links in Notion to notebooks or even specific pages in Goodnotes 5, maybe even allowing backups over Notion so you can view them on PC and Android through Notion as opposed to e.g. Dropbox

  12. Trello etc are great for collaboration, tracking etc. In Trello I can add typed notes and see into linked Dropbox folders. Is it possible for GoodNotes to work with Trello and link named notes to Trello cards?

  13. Dear Sir or Madam,

    I really enjoy goodnotes, especially to study.
    But there're things that would make it much more enjoyable.
    As an engineering student I write a lot of formulas, so I was wondering how nice it would be, if goodnotes would recognize my written formulas and change them into good-looking formulas.

    The other thing that would be nice, would be a flying or placeable color palette (maybe it flies near to the pencil or to a place where the user puts it)

    I hope my wishes finds you well. :)

    Kind regards

    Dominik Müller

  14. A lot of helpful diagrams are from imported from my photos, having the ability to search words that appear on a photo would be helpful. It really sucks having to go through every single folder and picture just to try and find the one I am looking for.

  15. Hope to add the function of global handwritten to text and the function of text box content splitting at will.
    Global handwriting to text: because writing is not as good-looking as standard font, you want to add global handwriting to handwriting. That is, select the pen column to add a function. When this function is turned on, all handwriting will be converted to standard font by default, and the font size is equal to that of handwriting.
    Text box random split function: because some text is obtained by OCR, after entering the text box, the whole text box is a…

  17. Suggestion: Make the slide sizes bigger and empty spaces in between smaller.

    Why: The overview of documents is supposed to give a clear overview for users,
    yet the small slide sizes and big empty spaces counter this purpose and make it extremely difficult to read and scroll through documents in an efficient manner.

  18. If you change the orientation of a document to either vertical or horizontal scrolling it will make it a default setting affecting other documents. I like viewing some files in vertical mode while having my planner be horizontal. This makes me rely on other notetaking apps instead of just one. Please consider making a default setting for the orientation of the documents and also make distinct settings for documents. This will help in me just rely on one app!

  19. Goodnotes currently compresses images when importing them into a document. Having the ability to deactivate the compression of images will help greatly in those who import images as templates very often. Please consider making this option available while also making sure this won't lag the document.
